String Value too long
|
|
|
I got an error tonight that caused a listing fail.
API Error Code 5013: String value for "Category" is too long. Maximum length is "20".
The main category was Books: Nonfiction Books. In Item Specifics, I selected Other for the Category and typed in Fraternal Organizations, which is 23 characters. The field allowed me to type the whole thing. If a user-entered attribute name goes over the eBay limit, shouldn't it be automatically truncated, as happens with Auction Lot Titles? Is this an AW programming glitch?

Had the same thing happen to me before. The field allows the characters and does not truncate. But 20 is the limit..
I guess I could ask if there could be a limit so it truncated.... I will ask and see..
geez I never thought to ask Thom about that
Shall I go to my room without ice cream now?

Well, it does seem like it would be a restriction that could be written into the code, just like it is for titles, but I'm certainly no programming expert.
Sure, if you get a chance to ask Thom, I'd be interested to know what he says. But it's obviously not a high-priority thing.
Thanks, Sue
